The Zdirect Professional Passive Direct Box is a high-quality interface that lets you connect instrument, line, or speaker-level signals to a mixer or other balanced input through a high-performance audio isolation transformer. The high-impedance, single-ended 1/4" input is converted by the transformer into an isolated balanced low-impedance signal output. Extremely flat and wide frequency response with high signal level handling. The ART Zdirect delivers clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in otherwise high-noise , live sound environments.

Our band uses these in the studio and on stage. The line through allows a nice clean signal to the recording interface or to the sound man on the XLR output and a jumper to the amp for on-stage sound. Gets rid of that single coil pick-up hum and allows the acoustic guitars to sound nice and warm with good tone. Keeps things simple in the studio at practice. I own 3 passive and one powered. They have all been working well for over 3 years. Compact and self-contained with no batteries to worry about. With ground lift, and pads for signal control you can't ask for more. Great product !

Watch out!!! I have owned this DI box for less than 2 months and it just quit working. I take care of all of my gear. This DI went from the floor in front of me to my bag. Used once a week and it quit working.

I was looking for a decent quality, low-cost passive DI box, and this unit was just the ticket. I've always been happy with ART products, and this passive DI box is no exception. More features than any other passive DI box in its price range, and it used a decent quality transformer that's dead quiet and quite musical. Sounded great on an old Guild acoustic-electric guitar.No other unit in this price range has the same features. Has 2 pads, 1/4" "thru" output, a noise filter, and a ground lift. I don't know what else you could possibly need/expect in a passive DI.Dead quiet, and built like a tank. No plastic - an all metal housing.Best deal around - believe me, I checked out just about every low-cost option, and this was the best value (quality/features vs. price) that I could find.

I bought this for Church a couple months ago and let the guitarist play while I switched out this di box with another equally priced di box (apex ADP1 PASSIVE DIRECT BOX) and both us us much prefer the this one....and its got a couple of extra features so thats a bonus!

This direct box has allot of great features, is rugged, cool looking and is completely transparent. When I switch effects on my guitar, sometimes the signal levels change drastically. The built in pads on the ART DI box are perfect for knocking down the really loud effects. In fact, it was so effective, the sound guy never knew the difference.The filter helps with hum too.The case is cool looking and solid. Cast anodized aluminum I think. Over time it probably will get scratched up, but so what, I like my equipment to have that worn in look.
